69-70 Owners...Need Feedback: Center Bezel Made for CD Player

  • Sponsors (?)


Id be up for one..
But if he could make the main gauge panel that would be even better.
JME is supposed to have had theirs out last year but its still not available...Its also pretty pricey...But us 69ers dont have much choice..

:shrug: Has anyone considered the depth for mounting a Cd player?
It looks like how i changed mine. :D
But when I mounted mine in the unit does'nt go far enough in to mount flush
like the stock radio did.
Still took some fabing on the mounting. :bang:

PB

This could be a problem. Is a new unit deeper than the older ones? By how much?
 
Yeah, sorry guys. The project has kinda lost steam. Interest has gone different ways as of late. I'll see what I can do about possibly getting something going again. I'm sure we could probably get something made out of polished aluminum, but I don't even have the radio bezel from when the car got stolen a few years ago.
 
Back in the late 80's when my '69 was my daily driver, my parents bought me a Kenwood pull out stereo. So, I made my own faceplate using an old stock radio faceplate. After measuring, I started by sanding the sides of the stock faceplate and fiberglassing the sides. Once I had sufficient material on the sides, I used my dremel tool to sand away all the plastic from inside until the pull out can would fit inside. When complete, I painted it black. I did not use my deluxe/woodgrain bezel as I could not justify modifying that piece. This part has held up well and looks awesome with the Stereo installed. When my car goes back together, the old Kenwood (with a tape deck) may go back in or I may get a CD version to replace it with. All in all, it was simple to do, just took a little work.

I am looking more for a gauge bezel then the radio one.
